Abstract
Iranian rural carpets are an important resource for studying the rural art and culture of Iran. They are also the most important area for staging the talents of, especially, rural girls and women. The common aspects of visual elements bespeak the prevailing spirit in these works under the influence of interaction with nature and lessons learned thereby. Also the availability of materials in the rural environment has the greatest influence on the physical aspects of design and texture. Rural-urban interaction and that with the nomadic population, and adapting the imported patterns to rural life is an outstanding feature of rural carpets. Adaptability of rural carpets to traditional rural applications and architecture is truly remarkable. The aesthetics of these works reveals their underlying principles, and the characteristics of their creators, and helps understand their worldview and attitude to their environment. Perhaps, that will present us with the gift of a new understanding of existence. The last point is that rural carpets are distinguishable from the urban and nomadic varieties.

Abstract
The extensive developments of Iranian arts in Qajar era eventually led to pictorial representation in almost all forms of art. Carpet weaving was no exception too and during this era the so-called pictorial carpets emerged. Although the images of these carpets mostly appeared in the central field, the borders of the carpets also underwent drastic developments. The findings of this essay indicate that despite weakening of the borders, they have never been removed and were always as an indispensible part of such carpets. In some of the carpets, one can see that the proportions of borders are not right but their provenance is identifiable. The methodology of this research is descriptive-analytical one. The statistical population consists of 79 pictorial carpets of Qajar era and the data have been collected using both desk and field studies.

Abstract
There are signs of compatibility between Iranian architecture and carpet in terms of geometry and proportions that the dimensions of the interior of the house and the dimensions of the carpet are closely related. Attention to the carpet in two dimensions of design and geometric dimensions has been an important factor in shaping the dimensions of the interior of the Iranian house. This study aims to study the relationship between the system of formation of interior spaces of the house (during the Qajar and early Pahlavi in Tehran) and the dimensions and geometry of the Iranian carpet to be deciphered. In this regard, descriptive-analytical method based on data analysis technique as well as field-library studies has been used. The statistical population identified the proportions of carpet indices in different parts of Iran, then they were evaluated in the proportions of house plans. Using Cochran's formula, 30 samples of Qajar and Pahlavi houses in Tehran in the historical context of Tehran have been randomly selected that can answer the research questions with the desired degree of reliability or possible accuracy. Geometric grammars are generative systems that lead to a design based on a set of geometric rules and work on geometric rules. The methodology of the laws is the phenomenological interpretation of the houses of the Qajar period with the method of Max Wennemann. Therefore, the quality of Qajar houses in this article as a phenomenological research is based on the experience lived in the house. The results of the analysis of case studies of houses of the Qajar and Pahlavi periods in Tehran show that in most houses in Tehran, the dimensions of the rooms of the houses are based on (Iranian and Greek golden proportions), (proportions based on the roof decorations). (Proportions based on the common dimensions of the carpet, with the floor enclosing the dimensions of the carpet) was predominant. In the early Qajar period, the formation of rooms was based on the golden proportions of Iran, then in the late Qajar and Pahlavi periods The title of the main criterion for the formation of houses has been influential.
